What is the minimum age for possession of a handgun in Nebraska without direct adult supervision?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 14 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Nebraska, the minimum age for an individual to possess a handgun without direct adult supervision is indeed 21 years old. This regulation is in place to ensure that individuals have reached an age where they can be legally held responsible for the safe handling and use of firearms, reflecting the state's commitment to firearms safety and responsible ownership. It is also tied to federal regulations that govern the sale and transfer of handguns, further reinforcing the necessity for a legal age of 21 for possession of handguns outside the supervision of an adult. This helps to mitigate potential risks associated with handgun access among younger individuals.
